Parking at Dominican University College on Empress Avenue
Dominican University College is at 116 Empress Avenue in Centretown, near Somerset. The campus is a university site, but the published parking pages returned for the Dominican name describe other institutions rather than this Ottawa campus, so they do not provide usable permit, visitor-parking, operator or rate details for DUC.
For a driver heading to 116 Empress Avenue, the practical choice is therefore to plan around nearby paid spaces rather than assume that a campus permit or visitor bay is available. The campus sits 390 m from Somerset centre, making a short approach from nearby parking areas realistic for students, staff and visitors who are carrying only everyday belongings.

Busy Periods and Street Parking Around the Campus
DUC’s position in Centretown, near Somerset, puts the campus in an urban setting where demand can rise during university activity and nearby city movement.
